INTRODUCTORY 




HE United States having acquired the Philippine Islands, of which so little was known until 
Dewey's victory, and of which so much has been written since that is unreliable, induces 
one to turn to the pictorial side in seeking information, thereby correcting many untruths. 
Represented in this production, to more fully familiarize you with the conditions 
that existed when our troops first landed, are views showing the topography of the country, 
the native Tagalo, their homes, business pursuits and conditions in general, while the 
remainder of the illustrations portray the title, "Our Boys in the Philippines," from the time of landing from 
the transports; through stages of peace; at the outbreak and into battle, where they forced their way through 
swamps in mud to the knees; charged across rice fields to trenches, from which the insurgents were pouring a 
deadly fire, but never faltering; all of these scenes and many more are pictured. 

Many cases of heroism on the part of officers and men alike were recorded, but to us the one who has 
been struck down and severely wounded by an insurgent bullet and who bears up bravely under the pain to 
continue on the firing line with his comrades, against their wishes, deserves the most credit. 

Successful in every sense has been the work of the soldier, and in their behalf this work is published so_ 
that those who stayed at home may get an idea of the hardships encountered in such a hot and trying climate, 
under unfavorable conditions, where sickness raged and was as deadly as insurgent bullets. 



In placing such a varied collection of views before the public one must realize the difficulty of the 
undertaking by running many risks when constantly on the advance line and exposed to the enemy's fire. 
To be wounded, captured by the insurgents, lost in the jungles while tramping from one line to the other, and 
short of rations are but a few of the many experiences. Therefore it is earnestly hoped that after perusing 
the following pages you will be more enlightened as to the Philippine Islands, its people, and the War.

Captured Ammunition — On the advance to the south the Fourteenth Infantry and North Dakota loss was heavy; the enemy being well-protected made stubborn 
resistance and the trenches were charged. The dense growth made progress slow, but at Pasay, which was taken after hard fighting, large quantities of 
ammunition were found, most of which had been taken from sunken Spanish ships. Several marine guns were captured, one of them showing here.
